The problem is the design of the factions.

Whermacht is designed well - its thought out - and with the exception of a useless T4 - its well rounded.

OKW is a pure blob - especially with the ammo increase - its dull but the blob wins all.

The problem with the Allies:

RU - Terrible design, so badly designed they continued to buff the faction just so people will play it.

US - As others have said - its a 15 min faction - when the real armor rolls out, the US has no counter (unless you're a pro - and even then you'll be working 10 times as hard).

That's the problem in a nutshell really.

That's exactly what our clan think. And it's terribly true in 3vs3 and 4vs4.
In our last 10 matches, the matching system was always between 76% to 90% Axis vs 24% to 10% allies.
Even if we like to play the underdogs as Allies, it's not fun to be tanks stomped all the time.

To have a chance to win, allies must control the nearly all map in the first 10-14 mins, make no mistakes or be crushed by their Panthers or Tigers.

Maybe we are not the best, but if we go axis our life is a lot easier....

I thinks part of the problem come from the fact that all the strategic points give fuel. On the bigger maps, their is way to much fuel income thus favoring Axis greatly (tanks).

A solution would be to remove 1 fuel production per strategic points and 2 points from fuel caches on the bigger 6-8 player's maps (and it won't affect 1vs1 or 2vs2). Ammo points are o.k. as both sides benefit from it more equally.

On the smaller 6-8 maps, where there is less strategic points (Ett. Station) it's more balanced. And if there is some buildings is even more balanced as bazooka squads can hide in building and survive a tank encounter, forcing the axis to build different units but Panthers or Tigers.

Please test it before you blast our pov.

Thanks.

For Riflemen Elite:
Let them come with both grenade types, + 1 Thomson, no stars, cost(320).(Ammo will still be needed in the beginning to use grenades).

Soviet weapon team:
Setup/pack -15%, +15% suppression, +15% rotate and fire arc, -15% move, 5 men team, reduce to 5 men.

Long Range Combat:
For non mg type only :
Give them a accuracy penalty vs moving target, the farther away the target the bigger the penalty. Ex : a running squad is doing some mini zigs-zags to be harder to hit when they charge....

Thank you for your efforts !!!!

That would be nice to have a reconnect option, like a 5 min windows.

It could save many great match lost because of loc.

Ty. Relic !

most people seem to be missing the point here a bit. building 5 shermans and letting them sit in the base so you can exceed pop cap is obviously only going to happen in a bad game. i assume this is what people are picturing when they say "i need my tanks"

the much more likely scenario, which does happen (ive done it many times in 3v3s), is to have multiple tanks out on the field and a few infantry squads at the base. you cant reinforce due to pop cap, so you pull tanks back just out of sight, hop out, reinforce, then hop back in. youll typically only get to 105-110 pop from this unless you have a ton of infantry. this is slightly unfair, but i wouldnt say its game breaking.

i think the fixes to prevent this would do more harm than good, such as attaching more pop to crews or not allowing units to recrew abandoned vehicles/weapons when over 100 pop. i think both sides of this debate are exaggerating though. this can be abused in higher skill games, but it also isnt as big a problem as some are making it out to be.

Well maybe it not that important in your game , but it is a big unfair advantage in ours...
It just that a bug is a bug and it's currently a bad one. It need to be fix asap. Or Relic must say clearly that is a US perk that is balanced.

By the way, i am truly sorry if i unjustly hurted someone, it wasn't intended at all.

Only the Us faction can reinforce its infantry at will in overcap (as above).

Only the US can grab a Tiger and still have a lot of rifle just by decrewing it will they build them and repair the tiger at the same time...).

Try to use it actively in you games, you will see how unfair it is.

Thanks for your comments.

I re state exactly what I said on page 1 of this thread.

No fix does not punish legitimate play.

Not allowing capture at full pop has all sorts of problems.
*Vehicle crews and auto-squad reinforcing mean you can accidentally lock yourself out of your own tank.
*A lot of weapon teams have more pop cap per man than basic infantry- you become incapable of picking up a weapon team you legitimately want to steal.
*De-crewing an enemy tank that would take you over pop cap is now impossible, you have no choice but to destroy something you legitimately want and have earned because lol arbitrary restrictions.
*Not allowing re-crew at 101 stops any combination of the above happening. Want to steal a few 120mm mortars your opponent has just lost? No can do.


You try fix a largely irrelevant gimmick and restrict actual players doing legitimate things. This entire issue is a joke and why do people even care.


(Also tying pop cap to the vehicle crew is really bad because it means trying to preserve your crews cripples your economy, so cut that nonsense out before you suggest it)

(Also also exponential MP upkeep is also trivial because the hard end of gimmicky use of this means you can float at 100 in vehicle crews and then pop into tanks merely for the final moments of fighting so w/e. All you do, again, is punish people that end up at ~104 by normal methods of play)

Well it's a big problem for us... and if u have a better fix plz tell us.

Maybe a solution would be able to re-crew enemy unit only if in over cap ? That would already be better.

What do you think ?

Thank
